Huygens ING | Amsterdam, The Netherlands | Software Engineer | Full-time, onsite | $35K – $60
Build open source software that slowly but surely gathers all historical data in Europe
We're a team of engineers at the Royal Academy of Sciences in the Netherlands.
We build a Backend as a Service that allows users to deposit their data[1].
We're looking for front-end / back-end engineers (we prefer people who like a little bit of both) to add features for exposing the data (search, visualisation) and for working with the data (distributes storage, reasoning/inferring knowledge).
We provide an environment where people enjoy freedom of work, where our clients understand the uncertainty of experimentation (they're researchers after all) and where all code is published under an open-source license.
We're using java (yes, voluntarily), react/redux (I know, sooo 2016) and we're hosting on kubernetes (sorry, no disparaging remark here).
We don't really care if you've used these exact technologies before, but we do care if you have built up greenfield applications as well as to have worked on applications that have been in development for a few years.
Interview process: phone interview -> at a later date a technical challenge (in person or screenshare) -> final interview (finalizing the agreement)

- siculars 10y ago35-60k... euros? That's kinda low even in pound sterling. Is this what folks get paid in The Netherlands as a "software engineer"?
- arianvanp 10y agoBasically.
- jauco 10y agoYeah that's euro's. We're bound by the collective bargaining agreement (cao) for universities. So it's a bit low even for dutch standards. However, it's hard to compare it against SV or london positions because the cost of living is lower, and a lot of the conttact is very much in favour of the employee (a company cannot just fire you for example, you get health benefits that are probably very good by us standards). I'm purposefully not making a case here. The vsnu cao is online[1] and you should make your own deliberation.

- imdsm 10y agoGood luck, hope you find someone. Luckily, most people who see this and scoff won't have been the person you're looking for anyway.
- who_is_firing 10y agoEvery HN hiring thread has someone comment on how low salaries sound for a specific country they are not from. Can we stop dis-incentivizing employers to be transparent about their salaries with negative comments?
